Clutch is smoked on my ‘99 TDI with 235k miles on it. I need to replace and i like the quiteness of the stock DMF but I dont want to spend $750 for a clutch and flywheel on a 20 yr old car. ECS currently has a clutch kit with a SMF on sale right now for about $370 shipped. I was wondering how bad the chatter is with a SMF or if anyone has had experience with the ECS clutch kits TIA https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-par...28mm-single-mass-flywheel-14-lbs/esr198031s1/

There is also the 17-050 by Luk. It is a complete DMF, disc and plate for about $200.

I see parts geek has it for about $195 shipped, it sounds almost too good of a price.

It's not.
You still need the engine mount bolts (that are TTY) and a few other fasteners and such, but yeah, it's a good kit and a nice price.

I have the quiet clutch installed and it’s much quieter than the G60 It replaced. From the day i installed the G60 I didn’t like the noise. I really like the “quiet clutch

That is where I got mine, and at the time it was $178 IIRC. Installed it and was very happy. Car got an additional 80k on it under my hand, and now it is getting run by The Boy as his first car. God willing, he will wear it out...
